[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4014562, member: 3099"] Ditto here. They didn't bat an eye at a hollow spindle oil country lathe having 15 feet of heavy pipe hanging out the back of the rear chuck spinning at 700 or 800 RPM that ANY fool could walk into and go for a very wild ride and have a really bad day. But they were downright OCD about the covers on the drive belts which weren't very accessible at all being latched and secured. Didn't bat an eye or ask about lockout procedures during maintenance either. A lot of our equipment had Siemens 87kw drive motors on it and EVERYTHING was 440 or 480V (I forget which) 3 phase. Didn't give one chit... :rolleyes2 I'm kinda glad they were inept though because I really didn't care for them making my job any harder, which they could have done in a drunken stupor. Today we would have to wear hard hats which is just asinine. MY BIL still works in manufacturing and even in QA he has to wear one. It's past ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
